VINYASA YOGA

Vinyasa is a style of yoga characterised by linking postures together so that you move from one to another, seamlessly, using breath. Our Vinyasa classes are great for newbies to yoga, or those with experience, wanting a new fresh challenge. Vinyasa yoga will also get that heart rate up, giving you your cardio fix but in a low impact execution.

ASHTANGA YOGA

A yoga class with eight components: morality, ethics, posture, breath control, sense control, concentration, meditation and absorption. An intense yoga workout that goes deeper into the self and consciousness.

Kundalini Yoga

Kundalini yoga in a nutshell is a type of yoga that uses breath correlated dynamic movement, often with mantra (sacred sanskrit words) and mudra (hand position) to open up body’s natural resources of inner vitality and spiritual power. This yoga is great for any age and ability, because every asana (posture) can be adapted to any rhythm/pace as well as flexibility and physical limits.

As a rule of thumb after each posture we practice a root lock, which involves contracting the muscles of pelvic floor, anus and of navel (belly button). This on its own is extremely helpful not only as preventative measure for incontinence and prostate issues, but also as a tool to strengthening and promoting both women’s and men’s health at any stage of their lives.
